My sons birth mother fainted several times in early pregnancy before she knew. He was born perfectly healthy and is currently running around playing football in my house. If you feel like it continues have your iron levels checked. She was anemic because she wasn’t taking prenatals (again didn’t know she was pregnant).

Could be hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Tell your doctor and ask about keeping glucose tablets with you throughout your pregnancy.

You can actually hurt your baby if you’re further along and pass out, falling on your stomach or even hurting yourself, thus hurting your baby. You could pass out while driving. It happened to me twice last pregnancy. I was getting my nails done the first time and was thankfully sitting, but the second time, I was standing in line at michaels and my head missed the corner of a shelf by inches, and luckily my legs bent which helped my fall.

Thanks for your comment. I will definitely ask my doctor about it in my next prenatal visit
